A run ‘n gun filmmaker’s POV on the business and creative world of new media and web tv

Afterworld

April 19, 2007

Afterworld is a new series that can be found on YouTube and also at http://www.Afterworld.tv (although the site isn’t running episodes yet). I’ve watched the first 4 episodes, and I can tell you that the series is downright impressive and extremely engaging. How to describe the series? In a nutshell, a guy wakes up and finds that 99% of the population is missing and technology is dead. The creators are putting out daily 2.5 minute episodes.

The afterworld website describes the series as:

“A new kind of computer-animated entertainment that goes deeper, blending video games, graphic novels and anime into one dynamic experience”

Below is the trailer. If you’re into sci-fi or mysteries, this series is for you. Even the trailer feels epic. Maybe the music has something to do with it.
